<P>the 210 is junk had 5 of them when they first came out no thanks. only 4 tuners not 6 no clock on the front. i agree with satch on the cisco unit and the arris six tuner model. now running ODN software if something goes south it's an easy fix if it can be fixed via a phone call unlike the 210 boxes. for the life of me i can't figure out why the numbers on the 210 remote don't light up but the rest of it does. also when i had it there was no caller id on the tv screen i don't know if that's been fixed or not. when i had it i spent three hours with tech support trying to get the HDD to format or do what ever it does. i will hold onto my 6 tuner untill it blows up LOL. oh yea also when i had the 210 it was giving me a message that the channel i wanted wasn't in my subscription when i was paying for it lol</P>Thu, 16 May 2019 18:59:00 GMThttps://forums.timewarnercable.com/t5/TV-Equipment/Best-DVR-Box/m-p/161638#M13896krel_20182019-05-16T18:59:00ZRe: Best DVR Boxhttps://forums.timewarnercable.com/t5/TV-Equipment/Best-DVR-Box/m-p/161639#M13897

If my 6 tuner DVR dies and I can not get another one from a store I would go back to using a Tivo again before I would ever use a Spectrum Guide equipped world box.</P>Mon, 24 Jun 2019 12:55:47 GMThttps://forums.timewarnercable.com/t5/TV-Equipment/Best-DVR-Box/m-p/162207#M14017toolman19902019-06-24T12:55:47ZRe: Best DVR Boxhttps://forums.timewarnercable.com/t5/TV-Equipment/Best-DVR-Box/m-p/162443#M14043
